In the short story "An Encounter", there was a clear and vivid theme that James Joyce wanted to portray
to the Reader of this short stories. The theme is the corruption of youth; this novel is about boyish adventure
a very pure and innocent ideal. But he incorporates an old man that seems very pedophilic. This is showing
That a sexual twisted man is corrupting the youth. This has sub-sequentially made me wonder what had
Happened in Joyce’s childhood that would make him want to right a short story about boys being scared
And frightened by a sexual predator. This can be seen when they go to the hill and an old man approaches
them, and says things about liking men, also referring that he would receive pleasure from beat people
Referring to the boys in this story.
